The PDF file contains a heuristic firing for PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM, indicating it is part of a link farm designed to drive traffic to external URLs.

The primary malicious URL identified is http://pekingese.ru/uploads/2020/01/28/4aac95a.pdf, which is flagged as unknown reputation but is the dominant host in the link farm.
